Everyday Cat Excuses, The Purrr-fect Publishing Success Story
Single mom Molly Brandenburg self-published her original cat cartoon book, Everyday Cat Excuses, where it was discovered by Barnes & Noble at the 2007 New York Book Convention! The book of fanciful cat cartoons was bought by Sterling Publishing and is due for release June 3, 2008. It's the purrr-fect publishing success story!
Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) April 13, 2008 -- Cartoonist and comedy writer Molly Brandenburg had a dream: to see her cartoon book published. After years juggling careers as an advertising copywriter, part time cartoonist and part time comedy performer, the single mom decided it was time to make the dream a reality.
For Brandenburg, the long road from "the great book idea sitting in a tablet at the back of my sock drawer" to book deal with Sterling Publishing Company, meant sneaking coffee shop drawing sessions in while her toddler played in preschool, nonstop encouragement from friends, and financing the project with her own savings. The hard work paid off, however, when her first cartoon book, Everyday Cat Excuses, a wacky exploration of the mysteriously hilarious world of cats, was discovered by a Barnes & Noble buyer at the 2007 BEA Book Convention in New York City. The hardcover version of the book is due in stores June 3, 2008, from Sterling. For more of the story, go to http://www.booksurge.com, and click on "Author Spotlight."
In Everyday Cat Excuses, Brandenburg identifies why cat lovers everywhere put up with hairballs, dead rodents, and indecisiveness from their cats, in black and white cartoons that have had cat lovers of all ages in stitches.
Everyday Cat Excuses is available for preorder online at http://www.SterlingPublishing.com.
About the Author--Molly Brandenburg's cartoons have been published in national publications, newspapers and major corporate media, as well as by the alternative press. Previously an award-winning movie advertising copywriter, Brandenburg is also a comedy performer, known to nightclub audiences as 60s lounge singer Miss Peggy Judy. The author currently resides in Los Angeles, California with her daughter Emma and their three cats, Frankie, Ava and Angel.
